Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the content Core Viewpoints of the Report - The core contradictions affecting LPG price trends include cost - end crude oil fluctuations due to supply - demand and geopolitical issues, a strong outer - market propane with a large internal - external price difference, and a relatively loose domestic fundamental situation with stable supply - demand, slightly improved chemical demand, and weak combustion demand. PG10/11 mostly follows outer - market propane and crude oil, and with the rebound of crude oil and improved domestic sentiment, the low - level valuation of the disk has been repaired [2]. - The near - end trading logic is that the domestic market remains loose, chemical demand has slightly improved, and the outer - market price is still relatively strong. With the rebound of crude oil, the domestic market has rebounded from the low level. The far - end is affected by macro factors, outer - market seasonal demand, and the possible weakening of chemical demand [4][7]. - The market is expected to be in a volatile state. The price range of PG11 is predicted to be between 4200 - 4600. Different trading strategies are proposed, including base - spread, month - spread, and hedging arbitrage strategies [11]. Summary by Relevant Catalogs Chapter 1: Core Contradictions and Strategy Recommendations 1.1 Core Contradictions - Cost - end crude oil is under pressure from supply surplus and geopolitical disturbances, leading to increased volatility. Outer - market propane has been strong in the past month, with a converted RMB - inclusive price of 4700 - 4750 yuan/ton and a large internal - external price difference. The domestic fundamental situation is loose, with stable supply - demand, slightly improved chemical demand, and weak combustion demand [2]. - Near - end: The domestic market is loose, chemical demand has slightly improved, the outer - market price is still relatively strong, and the domestic market has rebounded from the low level due to crude oil rebound. Far - end: It is affected by macro factors, outer - market seasonal demand, and the possible weakening of chemical demand [4][7]. 1.2 Trading - Type Strategy Recommendations - **Market Positioning**: The market is in a volatile state, and the price range of PG11 is 4200 - 4600 [11]. - **Base - Spread Strategy**: It is expected to shrink in a volatile manner. Chemical demand is expected to weaken, combustion demand is still weak, the spot side is under pressure, and the disk has room for valuation repair [11]. - **Month - Spread Strategy**: Sell high and conduct reverse arbitrage. The short - term is expected to be in a volatile pattern. Recently, the disk has shown a positive arbitrage trend due to the rebound of the near - month contract [12]. - **Hedging Arbitrage Strategy**: Buy PP and sell PG at low prices. There are many maintenance plans for the PP end and PDH in October, and PDH profits have room to expand. Also, pay attention to the impact of US demand - inventory changes and Sino - US relations on the outer - market regional price difference after the National Day [12]. 1.3 Industrial Customer Operation Recommendations - **Inventory Management**: When inventory is high and worried about price drops, short - sell PG futures (PG2511) to lock in profits and sell call options (PG2511C4600) to collect premiums and reduce costs [14]. - **Procurement Management**: When procurement inventory is low, buy PG futures (PG2511) at low prices to lock in procurement costs and sell put options (PG2511P4200) to collect premiums and reduce costs [14]. Chapter 2: This Week's Important Information and Next Week's Attention Events 2.1 This Week's Important Information - **Positive Information**: Crude oil rebounded due to issues such as Russian sanctions conflicts. In the industrial sector, the arrival of goods decreased slightly due to typhoons, ports destocked, and chemical demand and production increased slightly [20]. - **Negative Information**: Spot prices dropped this week due to typhoons and refinery inventory reduction [16]. 2.2 Next Week's Important Events to Follow - September 30: China's official manufacturing PMI. October 1: US September ISM manufacturing data (expected 49.2, higher than the previous value of 48.7). October 3: US unemployment rate, non - farm employment and other economic data [21].

Major profitable seats reduced their net positions but increased their cumulative profits. The top 5 long and short positions in the dragon - tiger list did not change significantly. The net short positions of some seats decreased slightly, while foreign investors increased their net short positions slightly and retail investors increased their net long positions slightly.

From May to August, its LPG import remained high, with some re - export demand in May and June. The propane cracking profit is better than that of naphtha, and imports are expected to remain relatively high [65]. - **Japan Supply - Demand**: Japan is highly dependent on imported LPG, and its demand and imports have obvious seasonality. As the weather turns cold, imports are expected to increase, and they are still neutral in September and October [73]. 5.2 Domestic Supply - Demand - **Domestic Supply - Demand Balance**: Supply: Domestic LPG output is expected to remain high due to high refinery profits, and imports may decrease slightly in October due to possible weakening chemical demand.
